Separate Sections.
Many discussions arose as to the meaning of particular sections. Thus C F. Lehmann(-Haupt) wrote in Klio, vol. iii, pp. 32-41 (1904), on Ein missverstandenes Gesetz Hammurabis, which was also taken as the title of an article by F. E. Peiser in Orientalistische Litteraturzeitung, vol. vii, cols. 236-7 (1904). Neither of these scholars can be said to have quite settled the questions they had raised; but the subject of §§ 185-93 was greatly cleared by their thoughtful treatment.
In 1908 M. Schorr contributed to the Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, vol. xxii, pp. 385-92, an article on Die §§ 280-282 des Gesetzbuches Hammurabis, followed, pp. 393-8, by an article of D. H. Müller on Die §§ 280-282 des Kodex Hammurabis.
M. Schorr in 1906 had written in the same journal, vol. xx, pp. 119-23, an article Zum § 27 des Hammurabi-Gesetzes, and in the Vienna Oriental Journal, xx (1906), pp. 314-36, Der § 7 des Hammurabi-Gesetzes.
Br. Meissner has discussed the correct word for a builder in the Code in the Orientalistische Litteraturzeitung, vol. xv, cols. 38-59 (1912), under the title Zu Hammurapis Gesetz, xix, R. 93.
Die Lücke in der Gesetzes-Stele Hammurapis, by A. Ungnad, in the Beiträge zur Assyriologie, vi, Heft 5, discussed all the means known to fill the gap as existing in the text, but the new sources named on p. 66 above will very likely suffice to complete the text.
